permasharp blades

has any one used perma sharp de blades in a edwin jagger de 89 razor
i have read a few articles on the net and they seem to be highly rated. apparently they are available from a site in Turkey and offer a sharp but really smooth shave.
 
I have used that exact combination. The Perma Sharp blades work fine for me, but I'd place them behind SuperMax SP's and Gillette Blacks or Blues. But YMMV as they say.

i find almost any blade is smooth in my EJ i tried the PS in a merkur 38c and wasnt over impreseed vs other blades. i think the sight in turkey is bestshave, they do a nice sample packs and some great blades - the one that worked better for me cost less then half the price of the PS . but that doesnt mean that'll be the case for you with the same blade. bestshave has been good for me i recommend try lots of blades. i found that i got a better shave then i ever dreamed of real cheap! like $8 for more then a years supply.

It seems to be true that just about any blade feels smooth in the DE89. That being said, I loved the Perma Sharp I tried with it. It felt similar to a Super Iridium to me. One of my favorite blades so far.
 
Just be aware there are 2 versions of the Permasharp blades. The one you want to try is the Russian made version.

I love the Perma-Sharps because I think my skin is a bit sensitive and likes the smoother blades.

I DID make the mistake and got the Turkish ones. Just get the 5-pack and not the plastic 10-pack. They don't differentiate them well, I think it was just 5 or 10 packs when I ordered and you had to get the 5 pack.

The made in turkey aren't produced anymore, not for a good 10 years.

This was from memory so used the Permasharps again the last few days. I stand corrected. They seem just as smooth and sharp as the others I mentioned. Great blade.

Hello RobC.
I was born in Turkey but lived in USA, most of my life. I recently moved back to Turkey and discovered this forum few months ago..
im not associated with Bestshave, or Permasharp..
I loved going to Turkish barbers for a shave, and thought I could only get that close of a shave through Turkish barbers shavettes. That is until I bought my own de razors.

I use them with Mühle R89. It really work excellent.
 
Perma-sharp Supers are great in my DE89L (the only razor I have). Their quality for me is neck-in-neck with that of Super Iridiums and Gillette Yellows or Blacks. I purchased 1000 (the Russians) on eBay a few months ago at about 17.5 cents per blade, but, due probably to the changing exchange rate, the bulk price has risen to about the same as what Bestshave charges for any quantity. At Bestshave's price they're still an excellent deal.
